OK I think I finally figured out what your thinking is:this pnm couldn't ever be initiated b/c she had an existing GPA of 2.0 based on ONE community college course.
(I'll set aside the whole "new member" shortened period.)
In that case, she likely wasn't even eligible to be offered a bid in the first place! Her 2.0 GPA would not meet the minimum requirement for most, if not all, GLOs or college Panhellenics to be eligible to go through recruitment.
Of course, then, there's the possibility that the chapter may take a "grade risk" but that is membership selection information.
She may well have chosen to go through recruitment, thinking that her HS GPA is what would be considered. In a reasonable world, it would be. This particular scenario is IMO bizarre and unreasonable. But it is what it is.
end of this swerve and now...
congratulations to all the Illinois new members!!!
